WST Lrn C dinner with Dr. Martha Grover
Date(s):
November 1, 2021, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Location:
Atlanta, GA
Dr. Martha Grover, ADVANCE Professor and associate chair for graduate studies in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, will speak about her career path, sharing decisions she made along the way and offering advice to students, who will be able to ask questions.
She will speak via Blue Jeans from 4pm to 5pm on Monday, November 1, 2021. The Blue Jeans link is https://bluejeans.com/256046861/4307
WST Learning Community students will be able to pickup meals in Stein 5-5:30pm after the talk.
Dr. Grover’s research activities in process systems engineering focus on understanding macromolecular organization and the emergence of biological function. Discrete atoms and molecules interact to form macromolecules and even larger mesoscale assemblies, ultimately yielding macroscopic structures and properties. A quantitative relationship between the nanoscale discrete interactions and the macroscale properties is required to design, optimize, and control such systems; yet in many applications, predictive models do not exist or are computationally intractable.
The Grover group is dedicated to the development of tractable and practical approaches for the engineering of macroscale behavior via explicit consideration of molecular and atomic scale interactions. We focus on applications involving the kinetics of self-assembly, specifically those in which methods from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics do not provide closed form solutions. General approaches employed include stochastic modeling, model reduction, machine learning, experimental design, robust parameter design, and estimation.
